Opportunities From: Metro United Way's Volunteer Connection

Our Office Volunteer opportunity is perfect for those who enjoy helping with phone calls, data entry, organization, or other administrative tasks around the office. Project Warm staff is happy to work around your schedule and your skills to help you get involved and stay involved.

As part of our community outreach initiatives, Project Warm offers informational Energy Management Workshops throughout the year. Workshop Assistants help with set up and break down, hand out and collect materials, and assist with the demonstration portion of the workshop. Training by Project Warm staff is provided.

This opportunity is for our Project Warm Program. If interested, feel free to check out this website  https://projectwarm.org/ if wanting more details on program goals.

Healthy Homes Seconds will ride alone with one of our trained Healthy Homes Evaluators to assist in the interview and evaluation portion of our Healthy Homes program. Seconds will be another set of eyes and ears during the interview, and will sit with the client while the Healthy Homes Evaluator inspects the home. They may also relay questions and answers for clients with mobility challenges, and make conversation throughout the 4-hour visit. All Seconds volunteers will receive an orientation prior to their first home visit, as well as the opportunity to ride along on a fully-staffed visit prior to ‘going live.’. Prior health care or hospitality experience is welcome but not required.

Assist us in helping our neighbors! We routinely pick up trash in our area to help keep our streets and green spaces clean. Additionally, our campus needs some green thumbs to help weed, spread mulch, and maintain garden beds.

Please help us re-paint our building! This can either be an individual activity or group. All painting will be indoors on drywall in our classrooms, kitchen, hallways, and bathrooms. We will provide all the supplies we just need your help! Some painting experience is prefered, but we have the ability to train. This task would be great for anyone 16 and older.
